Hi David, >>> I went back and tried this. Problem now is that the DiskLabel Editor >>> is not letting me specify the size of the filesystem. I select my >>> slice, type "C" to create.

Swap works: you just have to dedicate an entire slice to it. The situation won't change for 6.0. I suppose it boils down to a question of usability. If you have to carve up the disk with Apple tools, is it fine at that stage to size up how you want FreeBSD to drop onto dedicated slices ? Or is it better to have a single slice for FreeBSD, and partition that up ? User community, let me know ! later, Peter.
